heart and eyes beaming with hope be-

Contrary to expectations, l found my
self unsteady when | stood on my
brushes, SO concluded to cling to the

toned to my new mode of locomotion.
/ had been at work but a few minutes
when my attention was diverted by the
giggling of three little imps, AS they
sang out in their glec 'Oh mamma.
come, quick, quick! See papa walking
on brushes.
Mamma came, and soon retreated at
my command Of: 'Cherry, keep those
children out of here; it is bad enough
to make martyr of myself without
being laughed at
Bonnie, che eldest, began to whimper:
"W hat makes papa so cross! He did
look funny, didn't he, mammal"
''Hush! hush. come awayw Cherry
answered. papa is tired"

beginning to bercross too, but, left to
myself, rallied my courage and went
to work again. determined to venture
away from the wall, and had gained con
siderable sclf-assnrance when in bounded
our Newfoundland dog, with tail frisk-
lug and eyes alight with hlHnor / had
never seen iii them before. He seemed
all at once to have developed a keen APP
probation of the ridiculous, as he gam
boied about; and knocking against me,
sent me sprawling on the floor. re-
gained my footing and roared in my deep
bass, "Out Of here, Royerl Hear, sir"
Glow WOW, answered Rover, in his
merry bark, as he proceeded to gambol
some more, leaving the marks of his
dirty paws all over my floor
In the despair born of desperation, |
forgot my brushes, forgot prudence, for

resolved to rout from the room, or die
trying. Hither, thither and yon |
chased him, and finally he disappeared
through French window, smashing the
plate glass by the way. The next

Cherry, with sweet humility hunored
me, and cast the offensive appendages

with their united efforts, they lifted my
1870 pounds and gently carried them to

MATERIAL DECLINE E,
Tho Bears Succeed in Hammerlni
Down the Prices.

New York, July o9.-The stock market
to-day was very nearly repetition of that
Of Wednesday, the bears aud traders ham
mering stocks oil around the room, and the
close Of business saw a very material decline
from last nights figures. Much oxpecta-
tion had bten INDUCED In by holders that
the improvement OF yesterday would be
continued, but the market early showed Il
dropping tendency, aud, notwithstanding
some purchases by London, steadily de-
cllned. This was very discouraglng to the
bulls and they began to throw over their
stocks, advantage OF which was quickly
taken by the bears, and at ono time In the
afternoon state Of semi-panlc was pro
duced, aided by all sorts OF rumors, which
had depressing tendency. Boston became
a seller, and 1t became current that that in-
terest was liquldating. A noted privilege
broker was reported to have lain down on
his customers, and the dividend on Missouri
Pacific II was said would be reduced to o
per cent.
The first sales were made at irregular
changes Of slight fractions only from last
evenings quotations and the market was
quiet, though generally heavy tone,
which gradually developed into decided
weakness, marked the dealings. AZ the
weakness increased the amount OF business
done became larger, and In tho afternoon,
when the bears obtained complete control,
transactions were very large. A sudden
drop was made shortly after noon, from
which there was feeble rally, but the de-
cline was quickly resumed and lowest
figures were generally recorded at 2
o'clock.
A slight rally occurred In the last hour,
but the close was heavy at but shade bet
ter than the lowest prices reached.
Money on call has been easy, ranging from

CURE FOR INSOMNIA.

had frequently noticed that when en-
gagged in deep thought, particularly at
night, there seemed to be something like a
compression of the eyelids, the upper one
especially, and the eyes themselves were
apparently turned upwards as II looking in
that direction. This invariably occurred I;
and the moment that, by IN effort, arrest
cd the course of thought and freed the mind
from the subject with which 1t was engaged
the eyes resumed their natural position aud
the compression OF the lids ceased. Now,
IL occurred to me one night that would
not allow the eyes to turn upward, but kept
them determinedly in the opposite position,
as II looking down, and, having done so for
ashort time, found that the mind did not
revert to the thoughts with which 1t had
been occupied and l soon fell asleep.
tried the plan again with the same result,
and, after an experience OF two years, /
can truly say that, unless when something
specially annoying or worrying occurred,
have always been able to 60 to sleep very
shortly after retiring to rest. There may
occasionally be some difficulty In keeping
the eyes In the position have described,
but determined effort to do so is all that
is required, and | am certain that II kept
in the down-looking position It will be
found that composure and sleep will be the
result

Their Lady Friends Enjoy Them
selves.
The hop at the Potomac Boat Club last
evening was one OF the most pleasant of
this season. Early in the evening large
number Of boats were in demand, and the
parties that left the house were as great as
at any time during the summer. Shortly
after dusk the oarsmen and their fair com
panions returned to be- greeted by the
strains OF the band that discoursed music
for the dancers until II o'clock. The at
fractions of the veranda, however, proved
more pleasing to the guests than those of
the ball room, which was but sparsely pa
tronized on account Of the high tempera-
ture. The house was crowded aud the oc-
casion was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
